Lord, we know that anything that is able to overtake a person's will and cause them to become physically or emotionally dependent on it, is not Your will for their life, for our dependence and sufficiency is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lord, we know that in their own strength, no one will be able be set free from a smoking addiction, but Your grace is sufficient to deal with any addiction, and Your strength to overcome the obsession with smoking is made perfect when people are prepared to hand over their addictions to You and to surrender their obsessive habits into Your safe keeping.
Lord, you call us to be our brother’s and sister’s keeper. We thank you for this initiative of the International Seminar which seeks to boost the contribution of the Church to smoking harm reduction and saving lives. Thank you for the Organizers of this Seminar and for the Speakers who have shared with us their knowledge, experience, and love for fragile human beings. Bless all their efforts.
Father, we pray that You will be gracious to all those that are seeking Your face on this matter and who are prepared to turn their smoking obsession over to You and move forward in their lives in Your strength, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And as Christ taught us we dare to say:

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Holy Mary, Mother of Mercy, Pray for us!
Amen.
